Weiß jetzt nicht wies mit der körperlichen Fitness wirklich aussieht, aber für die geistige Fitness ists definitiv besser als nur daheim zu hocken. Wenn man natürlich anderweitig beschäftigt ist (Gemeinde, Familie, Vereine), hat das den gleichen Effekt. Ich seh halt bei uns die (Früh-)Rentner teilweise daheim langsam psychisch vergammeln.

Why should it be? A faulty software update from a 3rd party crashes the operating system. The exact same thing could happen to Linux hosts as well with how much access those IPSec programms usually get.

Nur weil man privat mit Windows defender und einer basic Firewall auskommt, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass große Firmen das auch tun. Noch dazu hat Linux im Bereich Cybersecurity quasi keinen Unterschied zu Windows. Privat kann man sich den Antivirus sparen weil:

  1. die Nutzerbasis zu klein ist/war
  2. Linux Anwendungen normalerweise aus bekannten Repositories kommen
  3. die Nutzer sich mit Technik auskennen und selbst als Antivirus fungieren

Als größere Firma (vor allem Banken und kritische Infrastruktur) muss man permanent mit Angriffen von außen und innen rechnen. Ne einfache Firewall hilft dir da nicht mal gegen nen basic DDoS Angriff.

Klar kann man viel abdecken durch einfache Mittel wie gut gemanagte Zugriffrechte und das Sperren von USB ports, aber das schützt halt hauptsächlich vor der Dummheit/Unwissenheit der eigenen Mitarbeiter.

Das soll auch nicht heißen, dass alles in so einem Software Packet relevant ist, da ist sicherlich auch viel unnützer Müll dabei. Aber ganz ohne IPSec Tools kommt man nicht weit.

Apple is a bit like Microsoft in that regard. Their browser (safari) is so tightly integrated into their operating system that removing it is basically impossible. Due to that, they can use/abuse it for basic functionality like a pdf reader instead of creating a separate app for it.

Android, on the other hand, doesn't even have a real default browser. While Chrome ships as the default since android 4, it's basically just the app tacked on top. Since PDF readers on android existed before Chrome became the default, Google was never really bothered with including a build in PDF reader in their browser. It simply wasn't necessary. And since most browser depend on chromium, which lacks this functionality, they don't have it either.

Firefox on Android has the option to open PDFs, so if you want it, that would be an option. It isn't a limitation of the operating system, Google simply couldn't be bothered and most others just use copy + past on Chrome.

Depends. It can be a good joke gift in your early twenties between men, but on any other occasions it can get pretty depressing.

And both of these companies build and purchased more renewable energy sources than all 100+ countries combined. Microsoft has committed to be carbon free by 2030, and while I don't belive in their commitment, they at least seem to be trying contrary to most nations. They even invested in nuclear plants for their power needs.

You can fault both companies for a lot of different reasons, but in terms of carbon emissions due to power usage, they are better than 99.9% of the countries on that list.

Google builds entire datacenters with their own transformers and power lines, if not their own powerplants. You plug these datacenters directly into the high voltage networks that don't have big capacity problems.

The low voltage grids in residential areas on the other hand were build as cheap as possible, so increasing the load by 20% is already too much for most of them.

Newer panels usually don't have that big of an issue with partial shading, but it definetly isn't optimal.

And what can there be done against it?

Chromium is already an open source project that no one is obligated to use in any way. You can't ban Google from developing their own project and you can't ban others from using the established codebase for their own browser.

That has nothing to do with age. Most people nowadays are so used to instant gratification that they struggle with stuff that only helps them in the long term, me included. Last time I tried to seriously sit down and learn I caught myself doing dishes and watering plants after not even 30mins.

Let's be honest, opt in telemetry features will collect so little data they might es well not exist.

Considering that ot is supposed to reduce user tracking by tracking ads directly, it's a net gain for everyone.

That's not a US specific thing, it's the exact same in pretty much all first world countries. Even if your stuff isn't manufactured by literal slaves, its build by Eastern European minimum wage slaves that aren't treated much better than literal ones.
